It's just there's so much beauty around us, it's astonishing!<br /><br />Joy: Oh, that peeling paint. We're hoping to get to it this summer. Meanwhile, it's fun to make "art" out of it!<br /><br />Magpie: Yay! I'm so glad you stopped by. You are most influential! <br /><br />~ennui~: To one who sees beauty everywhere: thank you for your fine example!<br /><br />Linda: Oh, you are SO clever. Iris!!! Thanks for the great ideas!<br /><br />Ellen: Thanks! I got a chuckle out of the "good eye" comment. One eye is near-sighted and one eye is far-sighted. Which one is the good one?<br /><br />Alex: My God, woman, you have a most amazing mind. I know I'm repeating myself, but really, such creativity! What well do you draw from? <br /><br />Derrick: I shall pass along your comment to Mr. B. I have to keep him busy or he starts coming up with projects for me -- and all I want to do these days is write and take photos! Thank you for your sweet comment!<br /><br />Rudee: Art. Such a little word, with so much meaning. Thank you for saying that. Do you ever get into that art vs. craft argument in you head? Snaps -- pretty saucy!<br /><br />Pyzahn: Fabulous ideas. I love the Italian idea. So many great "eyes" came from Italy. Oh, yes, you must check out your macro option. It rocks!!!<br /><br />Poetikat: oooooo....that's a good one. And I do love mythology!<br /><br />Boomer: Thank you!

Thank you so much for taking the time to "take a scroll" through my virtual album.<br /><br />A couple of you asked about the chain shot: I have a mac and use iphoto, so I went back to see if I'd monkeyed around with the any of the "controls" it offers. I did indeed boost the saturation to 85%. I'm such a coloraholic I couldn't stop myself from playing with the options.<br /><br />I love all the names you've suggested, too. But Derrick got me on the sexism comment. So male or gender neutral names most welcome! I am leaning toward a couple that have been suggested, tho'<br /><br />I think I keep the camera in macro mode almost all the time -- just part of discovering what I might not see with the "naked" eye. <br /><br />I've been so hesitant to take pictures of people because I know how self-conscious I am about pictures. But I'm hoping to get brave enough at some point!<br /><br />Braja: Spread the joy, my dear! And tribbles, too!<br /><br />Abe: Thank you. I look forward to learning more from you!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372015226222285350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8406187896474319609.post-37253367255671663812009-07-07T20:25:56.783-05:002009-07-07T20:25:56.783-05:00I just love these shots!

There is also Belly Button photography which I do with my Canon and it is not a point and shoot camera.<br /><br />I like what you have done with your camera in taking this selection of photos.
